"You
can become an example of a fight for a new beginning
for immigration laws in the U.S. ... laws that
respect human rights."

"So many things have happened that are questionable.
The injustice is unbelievable. Especially those
ankle bracelets - those physical chains they have
put on you. They represent oppression and are
tampering with your liberty, your freedom."

And from the aliens came these all too familiar
tear-drenched statements:

"We
endured a lot of humiliation from immigration
officials. They made jokes about us. We had to eat
wearing shackles and wear the same clothes over and
over. It was very sad, because we just came here to
work."
